Time-elapsed Workflow to change "date_modified"

Maybe I have trouble understanding it correctly or this is just not possible, but I would really appreciate some input concerning time-elapsed workflows.

Before I start: Of course I've read the documentation on workflows as well most related questions in this forum.

When my time-elapsed workflow triggers it changes the description field in the specified module.

So far so good. The only problem is, I would like this workflow to be recurring, meaning the following:

When the workflow triggers and the description field gets changed the "date_modifed" field does not get updated.

As I've gathered from other questions this seems to be the case for some other users though and they wanted to prevent the "date_modified" field from changing. I want the opposite, I want the "date_modified" field to be updated to the moment the workflow triggers.

Problems: This module can't be accessed in Studio, I only have admin-level access and I am running on Sugar Pro 7.x which means no advanced workflows.

An alternate solution for Sugar Workflows is SierraCRM Process Manager. Process Manager is the only commercially available workflow add-on for Sugar that replaces the soon to be removed Legacy Workflow.

One of the main features of our product is the ability to run Recurring Processes. What this feature includes is the ability to run any query against the database and get a result set of records. For each record in the result set you can pretty much do anything you want such as update fields, send emails, create new records, call RESTFul interfaces, assign the records.

If you wanted to update the description in the record, we would set the date_modified to the date that the process ran.

You can run Recurring Processes as often as you like.
